Kurt Johnson has a PhD in Evolution and Ecology and is a professor of Comparative Religion at New York’s Interfaith Seminary.

Dr. Kurt Johnson brings an unusual pedigree to this discussion. With a PhD in evolution and ecology, hundreds of refereed scientific articles and three well known popular books in science (Nabokov’s Blues, Fine Lines, and Our Moment of Choice) he is also a professor of comparative religion at New York’s Interfaith Seminary, a former monastic, and co-author of the influential book on world religions, The Coming Interspiritual Age. He is a prominent figure on international committees, particularly at the United Nations and, at Unity Earth, host of the VoiceAmerica series for thought leaders, The Convergence. His viewpoints are, consequently, varied and eclectic.
